Match Preview

Brannigan short of numbers
Queen of the South boss Kenny Brannigan has selection problems ahead of the visit of Morton.
Brannigan is looking for his side to bounce back from losing Sunday's ALBA Challenge Cup Final to Ross County.
But defender Craig Reid and striker Colin McMenamin are suspended while Rocco Quinn, David Weatherston and Daniel Orsi are on the injured list.
Brannigan said: "Monday was a very quiet day but the spirit in the camp was good again so we will go out and give it our best.
"I have to ask the experienced boys to do all they can to help the youngsters we bring in. It is not ideal but we are so short of bodies there is not much else we can do."
Morton striker Derek Lyle will not be involved following a court appearance while the Cappielow side also missing the injured Kevin Kelbie.
Boss Allan Moore is hoping Kevin McKinlay can shake off a knock to play at Palmerston, while Darren Young is expected to make his comeback from a calf problem on the bench.
Moore is out for revenge after two defeats in a row against the Dumfries side.
He said: "They have given us tough games and it is time for us to win one now.
"A win would move us back up the table and everyone knows I am determined that Morton finish as far up the table as possible come the end of the season."

Match Report

Morton ease to victory
Morton leapfrogged Queen of the South into fourth place in the Scottish First Division with a convincing 4-1 victory at Palmerston Park.
The visitors had already enjoyed two chances before Peter Weatherson broke the deadlock with just three minutes on the clock, converting Allan Jenkins` cross into the net from six yards.
And it was 2-0 just before the half-hour mark as Jenkins got in on the act himself, drilling a sweet left-footed effort into the bottom corner from the left channel.
Brian Graham made it three in the 62nd minute with a header from David O`Brien`s corner.
Queen of the South did register a consolation nine minutes later as Steven Degnan fired home Daniel Carmichael`s cross from 12 yards.
But it was left for Morton to have to final word deep into injury time, Jenkins grabbing his second of the night from close range.
